Текст песни One Time - Haystak

I believe in you, not because of you
But because of God, that is in you
I pray that God will cause you to soar
High above an eagle, high above the thoughts of others
Higher than high
Thank you, my brothers and sisters
For what you have done
And I know that we are not through yet, for this is just the beginning
However, words cannot express my love
Check, check

I caused more strain, pain, and anguish
On my grandmama and my granddaddy
Than all nine other children, combined
Phone calls from jail, I'm going through hell
I'm talkin' to em through glass
Please, relax now
I'm put em in predicaments, on multiple occasions
I can still hear em tellin' me, "I be damned, Jason"
Used to beat me upside the head with a Bible
"Boy, boy, boy"
I can still hear em prayin' for me
"Lord, Lord, Lord
Please, do somethin' with this baby we done raised"
It's when I was well beyond, or way past the age of accountability
And what I did was all me, but they felt it was on them
I miss you, Grandpa (Uh)
That man didn't play no games, kept it one hundred
He taught me to worship Jesus (Amen)
Taught me to get money (Haha)
Taught me to keep a straight face, even when I was scared
And it was by his guidance, that I came out prepared
And, uh
And it was by his guidance, that I came out prepared
And, uh

We die how we live, we live how we die
If someone were to ask me, tonight
"Stak, what's yo biggest regret in this life"
It's that we only get one time, to get it right

We die how we live, we live how we die
If someone were to ask me, tonight
"Stak, what's yo biggest regret in this life"
It's that we only get one time, to get it right

Let me get my ink pen (Huh)
Ya done got me started, thinkin'
Writing down my recollections, recallin' my reflections
The bodies, of murdered children
Maybe when the death toll reach a million, they'll do somethin'
But until then, these children need real men
Willin' to stand up for them, as well as they
Cause we share the common ground, of passing through hell
Where nobody, got no Daddy
And some people, got no Mama
Used to go holla at my partner like
"Hey, man I need to borrow yo mama"
"Mrs. Thompson, I promise that we only did it once
Now she say she pregnant, excuse my language
But I'm scared as fuck
I'm seventeen, I'm not cut out to be nobody daddy"
Now I wonder what would happen, had lil gal had that baby
Maybe I'd be preachin', maybe I'd be killed
Out there on the spot, tryna get diapers and enfamil
My mistakes are pages, in a book about me
And I'm so amazed, it didn't end at chapter twenty three
Feel me

We die how we live, we live how we die
If someone were to ask me, tonight
"Stak, what's yo biggest regret in this life"
It's that we only get one time, to get it right

We die how we live, we live how we die
If someone were to ask me, tonight
"Stak, what's yo biggest regret in this life"
It's that we only get one time, to get it right

I fell so many times, I said what's the point in gettin' up
I made it to a place, where I ain't even give a (Shhh)
Jason, give it up
Ya dreamin', they told me
Out here, tryna make a demo outta quarter (Shhh)
God had His hands, His hands on me
In time, I learned how to pray for my enemy
If you see me fighting a tiger, please come fast
Before I beat the stripes off his big, dumb ass
I remember back, when I was gone
My people, searched the whole house, and I just wasn't at home
They leave a light on, so I can find my way back in
And pray before they go to bed, that I get back again
I came so far, since then
God got me out, when the devil had me fenced in
But that's just my opinion
And it oughta be yours, if you got common sense
Cause I rock cross country, from LA to Providence
Praise God

Well
We die
One time
You crazy, you think I'ma waste mine
I said, we live
And die, one time
Ohhh
One time, one time, one time, one time

We die how we live, we live how we die
If someone were to ask me, tonight
"Stak, what's yo biggest regret in this life"
It's that we only get one time, to get it right

We die how we live, we live how we die
If someone were to ask me, tonight
"Stak, what's yo biggest regret in this life"
It's that we only get one time, to get it right
